Would You Rather Questions: 201-210


201. Would you rather swim in a pool full of Nutella or a pool full of maple syrup?

Ummm, this is weird. I'll go with maple syrup for nothing other than consistency. It might be easier to move in the syrup, especially if it's good, natural syrup, rather than Nutella. 

Regardless, I'm taking a shower afterwards. 

202. Would you rather labor under a hot sun or extreme cold?

Hot Sun. This has been proven. Just ask anyone who knows me. I find the extreme cold to be so off-putting. I really dislike snow days. It hurts my soul to wake up and see my entire yard and driveway filled with snow, and the thought of an upcoming shoveling and snow-blowing session. 

I'll make it work in the heat.

203. Would you rather stay in during a snow day or build a fort?

Ha! Staying in and curling up in sweatpants, a hoodie, and a blanket. 

204. Would you rather buy things you don’t need every time you go shopping or always forget the one thing that you need when you go to the store?

Forget the one thing you need. I'm very much an online shooper at this point in my life. Buying things that I don't need is also a small pet peeve of mine. 

205. Would you rather never be able to go out during the day or never be able to go out at night?

Again, at the age of forty, not being able to go out at night is perfectly fine with me. Easy choice. 

206. Would you rather have a personal maid or a personal chef?

This is an interesting one. I'm going personal chef. I can still clean up after myself and find some dignity in that. A chef would be awesome...

207. Would you rather be 9 feet tall or nine inches tall?

9 feet tall. I would play so much pick-up hoops. 

208. Would you rather be an extra in an Oscar-winning movie or the lead in a box office bomb?

An extra in an Oscar-winning movie. Being part of something special is just that...special. I was very much a role player at every level of sports, so I'm fully okay with doing the best "in my role". 

Oddly enough, I think today's culture leans toward the lead option, regardless of results. 

209. Would you rather vomit on your hero or have your hero vomit on you?

This is so incredibly weird. There's a much deeper "this-is-the-type-of-person-you-are" vibe in this question. Along those lines, I would say, have my hero vomit on me...

Yeah, it felt weird to type. 

Maybe if "my hero" was chill, their embarrassment leads to a relationship? I don't know...

210. Would you rather communicate only in emojis or never be able to text at all ever again?

Emojis. My opinion is that some people overuse them. Text culture also bothers me - more so the ways and phrases shorten and conflict with proper punctuation and diction. But whatevs.

Not being able to text is fiiiiiiiine. Having everyone just text me emojis would force me to break my phone or likely end relationships. Drop me an email. haha.

Dome Pondering Move Review: Say You Will (2017)

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it? Travis Tope - Sam Nimitz Katherine Hughes - Ellie Vaughn Favorite Scene: [spoiler alert] Sam plays his song for his mom. Favorite Quote: Ellie: "I wish we could have met down the road, maybe when we were like 27." Sam: "I think we needed each other now." Review:  Say You Will was an absolutely pleasant surprise of a watch from the Amazon Prime offerings.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this one, but after the credits rolled, it was a movie that provided authentic characters and a great lesson on life. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

Yankees 2025 Postseason - Ponderings and Stuff

Because of the response I received last year for my ponderings on last year's World Series , I decided to do the same for this year's MLB Postseason run. I'll drop some quick ponderings on the Yankees and their playoff run here. Because, well, I don't do "response videos".  Yeah, still a words guy. Still a nerd. Nonetheless, who knows? If the Yankees drop a quick two to the despised Boston Red Sox, this might be a quick wrap-up. Orrrrrrrrrr, we're looking at a collection of thoughts for a World Series title.  I'll calm down.  Dropping some ponderings below - thanks in advance for following along... --- Game 1  Red Sox d. Yankees, 3-1 (BOS leads series 1-0) And. Here. We. Go. [in your favorite Joker voice] Yankee fandom is likely going to be in full insufferable panic mode after this loss. I'm expecting the usual takes of "it's Boone's fault" and something to do with Cashman, and other bad takes on why "they trust anayltics ...

Dome Pondering Movie Review: Hello, I Must Be Going (2012)

What is it about? A woman moves back in with her parents following a shocking divorce. An unlikely affair with a younger guy revives her life and perspective on marriage. Who is in it? Melanie Lynskey - Amy Christopher Abbott - Jeremy Blythe Danner - Ruth Favorite Scene: Amy's dad, who is often much easier on her than her mom, comes to her bedside and gives her some money. She refuses, then he insists. She then asks, "whose happiness are you buying?" Favorite Quote: Where the f** is 'bottom'? Where the motherf***ing f*** is motherf***ing 'bottom'? Review: Hello, I Must Be Going was an interesting watch. I've always found Melanie Lynskey to be an intriguing actor, and her role in this was just that.  What makes this film so interesting is that, going into the film, you believed this would be a film documenting Amy's journey from recent divorcee into...well, wherever it is she goes. The beauty of this film is that Amy's journey was just a public...
